Control a 16-channel video security system with this 16-Channel H.264 Digital Video Recorder from Monoprice!

The heart of any security system is the Digital Video Recorder (DVR), which records and displays the video captured by the individual security cameras. This DVR is designed to accept the video, audio, and alarm inputs from up to four security cameras. It supports BNC video inputs, RCA audio inputs, and bare wire connections for the alarm inputs and optional PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) camera controls.

The DVR supports up to two internal SATA hard drives (not included) with capacity up to 2TB each. It also features two USB ports, which can be used to connect external hard drives or optical drives for data backup. The system supports continuous and scheduled recordings, as well as recordings triggered by alarm events or detected motion. The scheduling system includes support for separate holiday recording schedules.

The system supports dual-stream network transfers as well as full frame transfers, when connected to a Gigabit network. It includes software tools for viewing and managing stored video recordings, as well as performing data backups.

I had been the previous and only person that had reviewed this dvr. I am writing a new comment so that people can take note that this dvr is capable of being viewed remotely with the app that is provided with this dvr (DMVS app). It has since been updated and remote viewing has been restored. I not have an app installed on my iphone and on an android and app works perfectly. You can view your dvr from anywhere. I am very happy with the outcome and how this dvr performs. You do not have to sign up for a dyndns account and remove viewing is capable with the built in ddns. I recommend this dvr to all for the price and quality.
